    "content": "counties in this country is without power and perennially, every year we are discussing this. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is about time for our President, His Excellency President William Samoei Ruto to take the bull by the horn. The noble intent of connecting us from across the border, which is about 78 kilometers from Ethiopia, has been in discussion, but realization of the same is not happening. The problem is persistently there. The people are at pain. Yesterday, there were demonstrations in town. We have tried to suppress it for years, to the extent right now it has become impossible. It is reaching explosive levels within the community, where leaders will not have a choice. Since we have kept on telling them not to demonstrate, we might end up joining them for purposes of realizing sustainable electricity supply for the people of Mandera town. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very agonizing, and I cannot really overemphasize. Last time, we managed to calm the population of that town by telling them the President was coming, solution was on its way, and the generators had been promised. We told them we had met the Principal Secretary and the Cabinet Secretary. That the matter would be resolved and they needed not demonstrate. We promised them that if that did not happen, the leadership of that county, including the governor, would join in the demonstration to demonstrate the pain that the public are feeling in that county. I beg to support."
